Lepidoptera fauna OR butterflies and moths
This is the scientific style. It's not scientifically "correct" to turn "Lepidoptera" into an adjective.

Douglas Bissell
: butterflies and moths, why not make it understandable after all?

Matheus Chaud
: I definitely agree with "Lepidoptera fauna", but not so much with saying that it's not scientifically correct to turn "Lepidoptera" into an adjective. Just one of many examples: Dennis W. Schlicht's book, https://goo.gl/hd2ZQz , an expert in this field ;)
